AshantiGold dump Hearts after penalties in FA Cup

Exactly 4 years today, the Miners edged past the Phobians 5-4 on penalties, after 120 minutes of thrilling football game had ended 2-2 in extra time.

On 10th June, 2012,

Mohammed Yakubu put AshGold in the driving seat, but Attakora Gyimah equalised for Hearts as both side finished the opening 90 minutes 1-1.

In the extra time, Ashanti Gold restored their lead through Bernard Akuffo, before Gyimah once again drew his side even to send the game into penalty shootout.

During penalties, the Phobians missed their fourth kick as Samuel Enzemba saw his kick saved, thus ending any hopes of a silverware that season only to leave coach C.K. Akunnor the task of a major rebuilding.

AshantiGold set a date with Berekum Chelsea and they navigated through to the final, after dumping them from the competition through an extra time goal.

However, New Edubiase piped the Miners by a goal to nil in the grand finale to emerge champions.
